Witchcraft

Legend (Nuclear Blast Records)
release date: 9/21/2012

Expecting retro rock/doom or maybe a bit more mid-’80s metal injection, Witchcraft surprise with their fourth album, first for Nuclear Blast. The Swedes craft some fine rock tunes, playable in any decade, with strong vocals (manly, but with a bit of humility to keep it honest), and duel guitars that don’t wank, but tastefully letcha know they know their way around a fretboard. “It’s Not Because Of You” smells like a single.
